GreatPoint is a three year old venture capital firm with $400m+ under management led by former Oracle President and former Kleiner Perkins Partner Ray Lane, serial entrepreneur Andrew Perlman, and serial entrepreneur and investor Ashok Krishnamurthi. We tend to invest at Series A and Series B, leading rounds, joining boards, and forming close operational partnerships with entrepreneurs.

GreatPoint invests in and builds companies solving big problems that can transform industries and benefit society. From enterprise software to healthcare (the fastest databases on earth to surgical robotics) we invest where we can add a meaningful advantage through our operational experience, network, and love for company-building.

We’ve been among the earliest backers of 25 companies across two funds, including:

MycoTechnology: An ingredients company that uses mushrooms to naturally sweeten foods

THE ANALYST ROLE

We’re looking for an analyst to help us invest and build companies. Our investment team is small—just six of us—and we work fluidly together. We have a relatively flat organization and culture where Partners challenge Analysts and Analysts challenge Partners.

Experience

There’s no “right” set of experiences for this job. Great candidates might be operators, engineers, founders, scientists, consultants, bankers, researchers or other things we can’t even think of. We care about ability and energy, not pedigree. We expect to hire somebody with 2-5 years of work experience.

What we’re looking for

Values and culture

Hunger to build things that transform industries and society for good

Love of technology and entrepreneurship

Intellectual curiosity and love of learning

No jerks — we value integrity and maturity

Skills needed

Ability to level-up knowledge on complex topics and technologies quickly

Qualitative and quantitative analytical skills

Strong writing ability

We get excited about candidates who…

Show a demonstrated creative / entrepreneurial streak

Bring a unique set of opinions and ideas to the table — challenge our thinking!
